This book provides students and researchers with a resource that
includes the current application of the multi-criteria decision theory
in a variety of fields, including the environment, health care,
engineering, and architecture. There are many critical parameters
(criteria) that can directly or indirectly affect the consequences of
various decisions. The application of the multi-criteria decision theory
focusses mainly on the use of computational methods which include
multiple criteria and orders of preference for the evaluation and the
selection of the best option among many alternatives based on the
desired outcome. The theory of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is
an approach that can be extremely useful for students, managers,
engineers of manufacturing companies, etc.
